About Poppy
Poppy Streatfield is a counsellor registered with the BACP with seven years' experience, working online from North London. She offers one-to-one short and long-term counselling and lists concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, parenting and anger.
Poppy draws on several approaches rather than a single method. She uses Client-Centred techniques to focus on what matters to the person, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours, and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy for emotion regulation. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques when these suit a person's goals.
Sessions are structured around weekly meetings and practical conversation. Poppy says she prefers to explore therapeutic concerns during sessions and keeps messaging for practical enquiries only. Her work includes adapting methods for people with Autism and ADHD and discussing adjustments where needed.
Her background includes an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy, a postgraduate diploma in CBT for people with autism spectrum conditions and learning difficulties, and certificates in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. She also has a BSc (Hons) in Psychology.
Poppy has experience in educational, community and NHS settings, alongside private practice and work in the education sector. She says that if a client appears to be at high risk she will recommend they contact their GP for more comprehensive support.
To begin, clients use the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Poppy notes her working hours and limits messaging to those times for practical matters only.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Poppy uses Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to structure online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and placing the person's experience at the heart of sessions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to try between meetings. DBT elements teach concrete skills for managing intense emotions and handling difficult moments more safely.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Poppy will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape each session and the kinds of strategies tried between meetings.
The biography describes weekly one-to-one counselling but does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when life gets busy. Different approaches also suit different practical needs - shorter check-ins can be used to review skills, while longer sessions can allow deeper exploration and practice.
